SIGHT DEVICE WITH TELESCOPE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 4, 1911.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HEINRICH Konnom, a

citizen of Switzerland, and a resident of 8 Kramburgerstrasse, Berne-Kirchenfeld, Switzerland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sight Devices with Telescopes, of which the following is a specification. This invention relates to a sighting device having a telescope, which can be connected with its carrier by forcing it into a guide arranged thereon. .Since in such a connection of the telescope with the telescope carrier, the telescope must obviously be rigidly gripped and held in place by the sides of the guide, it follows that, in removing the telescope from the guide in the known arrangements of this kind, the release of the telescope is effected only by the use of force. This readily results in injury to the guiding surfaces or to the telescope.

The purpose of this invention is to avoid this objection, and is attained, according to the invention, by providing the telescope with a manually adjustable part which is so combined that by a suitable adjustment of this part, the telescope can be forced a certain distance out of its guide.

One embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings applied to a sight-attachment with panoramic sight-telescope.

Figure 1 is a side View, partly in section, of the attachment head with the telescope: Fig. 2 is a view, looking in the direction of the arrow 00, Fig. 1, of the attachment head without the telescope; Fig. 3 is a top view of Fig. 1, showing the attachment) head without the telescope; Fig. 4 is a section on line 4 4, Fig. 2, looking from above; Fig.

5 is a section on line 5-5, Fig. 4, looking looking from the right; Fig. 12 is another detail in a view corresponding to that shown in Fig. 2; Fig. 13 is a side 'view of Fig. 12; and Fig. 14 is a top view of Fig. 13.

A indicates the attachment bar, B the telescope carrier which is firmly connected with the attachment bar, and C the panoramic sight telescope which can be inserted in a guide on the telescope carrierin the direction of the arrow 3 (Figs. 1 and 2). The part C of the telescope housing which is adapted to enter the guide is substantially of cylindrical shape. In the telescope carrier B a bolt D having a handle d is rotatably mounted in the known manner, the axis of rotation of the bolt intersecting the direction of movement of the 'telescope at a right angle. The bolt D has one end provided with a stop d (Figs. 4, 5 and 9) for which two corresponding shoulders b and b (see especially Fig. 5) are provided on the bearing of the bolt. These shoulders are arranged in such a manner that the bolt can turn only at an angle of 180. The bolt is under the action of a spring E (Fig. 4) which tends to turn the bolt in the direction of the arrow .2 (Figs. 1, 5 and 6) and, when the bolt is in the locking position shown in Fig. 1, the spring E causes the bolt to lie with its stop (Z against the shoulder b on the bearing. In this position of the bolt a part of the shank of the bolt projects through an opening I) (Fig. 2) in the telescope carrier B into the path of movement of the part C of the telescope and, when the telescope is in the position of use shown in Fig. 1, the projecting part of the shank of the bolt engages in a notch c (Fig. 1) in the part C so that the telescope is locked in position. That part of the bolt D which, when the parts are in this position, is away from the telescope is provided with a recess (Z (see especially Figs. 4 and 9) which is shaped and arranged in such a manner that it fits the curvature of the cylindrical part C of the telescope when the bolt is turned 180? from its locking position against the action of the spring E, that is, in the opposite direction of the arrow 2. When the bolt 1) in this position, in which the stop (Z lies against the shoulder 79 (Figs. 4 and 5), the telescope can therefore be freely removed from the guide.

The arrangement so far described is old and no claim is made thereto.

A part of the guide for the telescope is formed by abush B which is mounted in the telescope carrier B in the manner shown in the drawings and which is slidable in the same direction as the telescope. At that side toward which the telescope is moved when being removed from the guide, the bush abuts against a collar 0 (Fig. 3) on the telescope. A pin 6 which is secured in the telescope carrier and which engages in a groove 6 in the bush, prevents the bush from turning and from sliding too far in the direction of removal of the telescope. A shoulder b on the telescope carrier prevents the bush from sliding too far in the opposite direction. The bush isprovided with two ears 6 the end surfaces of which are located on level with the axis of the bolt D and engage in two recesses (Z in the bolt I) when the bush abuts the shoulder 6 Each of these recesses has two straight side walls (Z (Fig. 9) which are at right angles to the axis of the bolt and each recess has a straight bottom surface (Z which is at right angles to the side walls 03 and passes through the axis of the bolt. Vvhen the bolt is in its locking position, the bottom surfaces (Z extend parallel to the direction of displacement of the bush B, that is they are located outside of the path of movement of the ears 6 (see Fig. 6). If the telescope is to be re moved from its guide the bolt D is turned against the action of the spring E, that is, in the opposite direction of the arrow 2 (Fig. 6). When the bolt D has been turned 90, the bottom surfaces (Z of the recesses d of the bolt D become located under the ears 5 of the bush 13*, as shown in Fig. 7. When the bolt is turned farther in the same direction, the bush is pushed upwardly (see Fig. 8) and carries the telescope along with it, as the bush abuts the collar 0 on the telescope. There is nothing to prevent this being done because the bolt, when it has turned 90 in the direction just mentioned, releases the telescope to such an extent that it; can partake of the sliding movement of the bush,(see Fig. 1). The sliding movement of the bush continues until the bolt has turned 180 altogether 8) and has entirely released the telescope as the recess 6Z3 is then turned toward the part C of the telescope. After the telescope has thus been released by the unlocking movement of the bolt D it can easily be entirely removed from its guide by hand. As soon as the telescope has entirely passed out of its guide, the spring E causes the bolt D to automatically return to the locking position upon the release of the handle al The bush B can then be forced by hand back into its extreme position shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 6. The insertion of the telescope in its guide and the locking of the telescope take place in a similar manner and need not be further explained.
